At some point, the standard library module importlib.metadata will be
synced with the external importlib_metadata and this patch will fail to
apply.  Add a comment clarifying that after 10.1.0, it can simply be
dropped.

 When there are multiple distributions found and some of them are invalid, ensure that
 the entry_points() accessor puts valid dists first.
